Free-To-Join Programs

Free-to-join programs provide a secure avenue to venture if you want to make some money online. Regardless of what I have gotten involved in online trying to make a buck, I can say without fail that I have never lost any money in a free-to-join program.

The problem with free-to-join programs is that to really earn in these programs is that you need to expand out and refer people, but this is not unusual because everything you participate in online has a referral component. If you really like the program, you will no doubt work very hard at this, and if you don't care for the program that much you will end up putting it on the backburner.

Another problem with these programs is that you have to make sure they are being managed properly by the owners. Too often a free-to-join program will close and the owners will not pay the members. I have seen this happen quite a bit.

I have put together a report on how you can really earn with free-to-join programs. I have included the programs I participate in since I have been online and also highlight how you can save time in jumping that referral hurdle. If you would like to review what I have put together, you are able to subscribe in top right-hand corner of this page.

Get Paid To Advertise

There are not too many advertising platforms that pay you to advertise. I have been watching this one for awhile to ensure that they do in fact pay and that they are not a here today, gone tomorrow online business. All systems are go!!!This business is located in Belgium and if you are familiar with traffic exchanges you will be familiar with this -- BIG EXCEPTION -- you make money by doing it.

For $6 you can advertise your site and earn 12% on that $6 by surfing at least 12 sites a day (recommend at least 14 just to make sure). If you missing surfing for one day, you do not obtain the 12% for that day.

I just purchased $60 of advertising, and each day I surf I am returned $7.20. At the end of my 12 days, my initial funds and my earnings will be returned to me. I don't think the advertising is that bad either because I have receive a response or two.

Megalido also offers contests to further increase your earnings. The current contest will reward 60 members with cash prizes ranging from $400 to $20. There are 6 different prize categories for top promoters and active members of the program.

In addition to getting paid to advertise, if you are monetizing your website with pay-per-click advertising, you can earn more from your PPC ads if you place your site in a traffic exchange. The more views your site receives will increase your Alexa ranking, which in turn will bring higher priced PPC ads to your site. Any blog that utilizes Adsense to monetize should not use traffic exchanges, as you run the risk of losing your account.

Overall, Megalido is a win-win for bloggers who would like to make money online. You will not only get paid to advertise but will also increasing your Alexa ranking at the same time.

I invite you to advertise your business at Megalido. Some members are earning hundreds; even thousands each day. This is a sure way to get some extra money for the holidays.

Megalido accepts multiple payment processors -- Liberty Reserve (LR) , AlterGold (AG), Solid Trust Pay (STP), AlertPay (AP), and StrictPay (SP).

eBooks-Graphics Resell Package and More

eBooks and graphics reselling is just about everywhere online. I have run into quite a few of these websites setup by the digital products internet gurus. What usually happens is they create a very long but attractive website with lots of testimonials geared towards the product inside. If you are interested in what they have to say, you will sign as an affiliate for the program and be supplied with graphics, banners, and a whole bunch of other promo tools. You just need to enter your affiliate ID of the eBook they are offering, and off you go to try to sell this digital product.

There is a NEW concept that has just been released for digital products. In fact, if you have never sold a digital product before online; you may want to consider this new concept because it is a TEAM EFFORT. There is an actual forum where members can chat with each other. You can even go on Skype to meet other members. If you ever get that lonely feeling while working on the internet, this may be for you.

This new concept is called 6 Star Express Book Collections, and it has put an entirely different spin on digital products selling. When you join this program, you can do it from a member's website - OR - you can do it from one of the Teams that are building the program. Is it free to join? No. There is a fee of $99 BUT you can get these funds returned and more because 6Star just doesn't give you an affiliate website and send you on your way to sell e-books, they enter you into their own money-generating program. So when you purchase your 6 Star membership, you not only get eBooks and graphics to resell but another income opportunity supported by 6Star teambuilders.

The team builders coordinate a team list and ensure that all members of their team are moving along. This is a board compensation program. If you are not familiar with board programs, it works as follows: Your 6Star membership places you into a 2x2 board and when that board fills and splits; the person on the top earns $200. Because this is a 2x2 program; it moves very quickly. Members are earning each day and those that have are helping others move along by purchasing an additional membership; eBook collection series to sell.

Come visit the MLM Divas Forum (if you are a guy you must apply lipstick), and meet the team leaders of the program -- Chris (USA), Christina (Amsterdam), Valia (Australia), Tony (Greece), and Paul (USA). There are other happenings in the forum, but for specific information on this program; here is the direct link to that subject thread -- just CLICK HERE to go to it.

Please swing by the forum and check it out. This forum actually just opened a short time ago and bloggers are needed there to give tips and tricks and other information.

How Many Subscribers Are Actually Reading Your Mails?

If you are using an autoresponder to increase your online sales and prospects, have you ever wondered how many of your subscribers are actually reading their mails? I use the TrafficWave service for free and they have put in a great new add-on feature which will actually show you the percentage of people that are opening your mails.

Now I use to think that once somebody confirmed their e-mail address and entered my autoresponder that they would automatically read what I sent them, but I have learned this is not the case. The new add-on feature at TrafficWave has really shed some light on my direct e-mail marketing efforts, as I now know I have to create better subject lines in order to get my reader's attention.

Since I have implemented the TrafficWave service into my online business, things are starting to turn around for me. I have been list building, have a subscriber's list, am getting sales and now can also start focusing in on getting better sales conversions. Nothing like walking around in the dark.

TrafficWave offers much more than just multiple autoresponders. They have ad tracking, banner advertising, and you can have your own FFA page. You can even use their hosted lead capture page templates to start list building; so you do not need a website or blog to start building a list. AND believe it or not, they offer all this for $17.95 a month (not like some other services that charge you an arm and a leg). Better yet, you can even use the service for free if you want to participate in their affiliate program.

If you want to try out the TrafficWave service and embed an autoresponder in your blog or website, I invite you to try it out for 30 days free. They offer free trials. You have nothing to lose. You might even like it and want to continue on with it. Better yet, you may fall in love with it like I have and add it as another stream of online income for yourself.

Responsive Safelist for Internet Marketers

I am happy to post that I have finally located a halfway decent safelist internet marketers can utilize as a free member. Thanks to the ad tracking service I use at TrafficWave, I am now able to see which advertising platforms are working for me and which are not. Of the safelists I have trialed, Dusty's SafeList has proven to be a pretty good deal as a free member.

At Dusty's SafeList, I have taken advantage of the text link ads, the banner advertising, and credit mailers available to free members and have received a nice response -- it was not overwhelmingly great but there was a minimal response. Every marketing article I have ever read says that solo ads are the most effective way of getting your ad out to people; this is also available at Dusty's. However, I like to use things for free online and have no intention of upgrading my account. I would much rather use these funds else; like pay-per-click advertising on Bidvertiser, which I believe is more effective.



Whichever way you chose to market online, it is important to utilize as many advertising platforms available to you. There is no doubt that Dusty's SafeList is a keeper for me. Hope you get a chance to try it out.
